TV host Piers Morgan has been as outspoken as ever during the country's lockdown, openly criticising Government ministers and even the President of the United States Donald Trump.

And he was no less direct in his criticism of Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle who he called a disgusting human being for a recent message he sent on Twitter.

On Good Morning Britain Piers was discussing a newspaper campaign which is working to fly in personal protective equipment for frontline NHS workers amid the coronavirus pandemic.

As the Daily Record has reported, Piers said the campaign was "very timely" following Frankie's 'hypocritical' tweet where he said 'Many British newspapers are on the verge of going bust, so there's never been a more important time to not buy one'.

The GMB presenter said: "Frankie Boyle, the so-called comedian, tweeted a couple of days ago 'British newspapers are on the verge of going bust, so there's never been a more important time to not buy one.'

"This is a guy who's taken money from newspapers to write columns, so he's a flaming hypocrite as well as a disgusting human being who wants to see people lose their jobs."

Piers then went on to say that Frankie should not be given a newspaper column again.

He said: "I hope that when he comes sniffing for a column in one of the papers, he's done them in The Sun and others,' I hope they say 'No, no thanks.'

"When it really mattered, when we were really suffering as an industry, you actively told two and a half million people not to buy newspapers to put us out of business.
